The WidowX Robot Arm Mark II is the update to Interbotix Labs' entry level arm offering for the MX series of DYNAMIXEL Servos. The Mark II has a few improvements that we've made based upon our own testing as well as customer feedback. We've upgraded the elbow servo from an MX-28 to an MX-64 complete with custom aluminum brackets for added frame strength, replaced the Arbotix with the new Arbotix-M, and streamlined the arm structure to be lighter, simpler, and stronger. The MX series actuators provide a full 360 degree freedom of movement in the base, ultra-high resolution of 4096 positions, user-definable PID parameters, and extremely smooth interpolation. The hefty MX-64 shoulder & elbow servos gives the WidowX very strong lifting strength in a slim frame. If you are looking for medium lifting strength and desire smooth control, high accuracy and repeat-ability the WidowX is a great mid-level arm choice.

Product Features:

Industry Leading MX-64, MX-28 and AX-12 Servos

Solid 14cm Ball Bearing Base

Extremely Rigid Boxed ABS Construction

Arbotix Robocontroller for Onboard Processing

Custom Parallel Gripper

Mounting Brackets for Cameras & Sensors

Kit Includes:

A rugged ABS boxed frame design and 14cm
diameter ball bearing rotational base ensures
maximum rigidity and accuracy. Optional
wrist rotate allows for up to 5 degrees of freedom,
along with a custom designed parallel
gripper for high precision and maximum gripping
strength.

The WidowX Robot Arm has up to a 41cm horizontal reach and 55cm of vertical reach. At a
10cm reach it can lift up to 800g, and at 30cm up to 400g. The gripper itself has a rated holding
strength of up to 500g, while the wrist itself can lift up to 500g horizontally. (400g if using wrist
rotate).

MX DYNAMIXELs support up to 360 degrees of
motion, which results in an extraordinary
range of motion and reach on the WidowX
. Temperature monitoring, positional
feedback, as well as voltage levels, load, and
compliance settings are user accessible as
well.

The onboard Arbotix Robocontroller
can be programmed using the Arduino
IDE or custom firmware, providing
8 digital and analog IOs, Xbee
wireless or USB connectivity, and a
powerful ATMega644p capable of handling
Inverse Kinematics code onboard.

Due to high demand and supply chain/production fluctuation, please be aware we cannot guarantee that Interbotix Labs kits will be shipped immediately. We make every possible effort to keep kits in stock, but at times the production lags behind demand for various reasons. For time sensitive projects, please contact trsupport@trossenrobotics.com for an estimated lead time on our kits and plan purchases with ample time. Orders are shipped in the order they are received as stock allows.
